Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We describe how illusory apparent motion of one's own fingers and other body parts can easily be experienced in spite of grossly conflicting proprioceptive signals. This simple illusion may be used to shed light on the crossmodal integration of visual and proprioceptive signals. Our preliminary observations suggest that the visual and proprioceptive signals do not merge into a common crossmodal percept. Instead, mutually inconsistent visual and bodily sensations are experienced simultaneously. |
